> What is Discourse ID? Discourse ID provides a faster login experience across participating Discourse sites so you don’t have to create separate logins for each Discourse you visit and you can join any participating Discourse sites with just one...

Would you use such a feature? (it allows logging in with Google, Apple, Facebook Github, or your email, and lets you use one account for multiple Discourse forums)

But I do have wondered in the past why I had to create a new account on each Discourse forum I used. And every time that automated intro tutorial on how to use it…
